Scope

Mainly on the inside face of the building shell, contributing to the airtightness of the building.
Union between supports of the same or different materials, such as roofs and enclosures, floors and enclosures, window jambs, pipe frames, especially suitable as an airtight layer in nearly zero-energy and passivhaus buildings.

Advantages & Benefits

High level airtight properties.
Highly flexibility and has an ability to re-form against differential movements.
Cures and hardens without cracking.
Outstanding Adhesion
Excellent value for money
Excellent workability.
Impervious to water.
Permeable to water vapour.
It can be applied with a brush, paintbrush or roller.

Support

Steel.
Aluminium.
Concrete block.
Mortar renderings.
Concrete/Screed.
Brick.
PVC sheets.
Laminated plasterboard.

Substrate preparation

The substrates must be clean and sound, free of grease, paint or other substances that would prevent proper adhesion.

Instruction for Use

Knead ARGOTEC HERMETIC with the appropriate amount of water to achieve the optimum consistency (homogeneous, creamy, lump-free mixture with a thick paint-like appearance). The kneaded mortar should always be applied in a minimum of two coats so that a homogeneous coating is obtained.
Apply the first layer of mortar with a brush, pressing on the substrate to ensure adherence in thicknesses of less than 2 mm, trying to ensure that the mortar covers the entire surface. The following coats shall be applied by brush or airless machine and in perpendicular directions once the previous coat has dried (4-24 h depending on environmental conditions)”.

Warning

Preferably apply to the positive layer (the one that receives the water pressure).
Avoid accumulating too much material in joints or fillers to prevent cracking.
Singular points shall be dealt with in an appropriate manner.
Do not apply when there is a risk of frost, rain, strong wind or direct sunlight.
Do not apply below 5°C or above 30°C.
Protect the cool surface from direct sun, rain and especially draughts.
